package/python-django: security bump to version 4.1.12
Fixes the following security issue:
CVE-2023-43665: Denial-of-service possibility in django.utils.text.Truncator
Following the fix for CVE-2019-14232, the regular expressions used in the
implementation of django.utils.text.Truncator’s chars() and words() methods
(with html=True) were revised and improved. However, these regular
expressions still exhibited linear backtracking complexity, so when given a
very long, potentially malformed HTML input, the evaluation would still be
slow, leading to a potential denial of service vulnerability.
The chars() and words() methods are used to implement the truncatechars_html
and truncatewords_html template filters, which were thus also vulnerable.
The input processed by Truncator, when operating in HTML mode, has been
limited to the first five million characters in order to avoid potential
performance and memory issues.
